Our commercial sealant contractors service in IV22
We’ve applied sealant on commercial sites for over 20 years: CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, five million pounds of public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators. Let us know which site documents you need and they’ll be confirmed with the quote. Most enquiries involve weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes and smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job, on floor and threshold joints, external facade joints and movement joints in walls and floors.
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off.
- First, details come to us: photographs, drawings or a schedule of the areas, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
- The failure is diagnosed and a fixed quote issued for the work agreed.
- Site hours, access windows and the order of areas are agreed before we start.
- The failed bead is removed and the joint faces cleaned until they’re sound and dry.
- Backing and primer go in where needed, then the chosen sealant is applied and tooled.
- We walk the completed areas with you and sign them off under the 12-month guarantee.

Where commercial joints are in IV22
In IV22, much commercial sealant work follows refits in shops, offices and hotels in places such as Poolewe, Àird and Aultbea. Visible joints call for a matched colour and a clean tooled finish.
Tenements in Scotland’s cities are often managed by property factors, with shared repairs agreed by the owners, so the factor is often the first contact for work on shared parts. Along the coast in IV22, hospitality buildings tend to be busiest in the summer months, which makes the quieter months a good time for sealant work.
Poolewe: For a hotel such as Poolewe Hotel, less than half a mile to the north of Poolewe, the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room. Whatever the building in Poolewe, commercial sealant work starts with cutting out the failed bead and cleaning the joint back to sound material.
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
- Broken glass or blown double-glazed units
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
Leave it or put it right?
Fixing joints complaint by complaint is a costly way to manage sealant. Planning the work across a year or a portfolio means fewer separate visits and a predictable spend. We can help you prioritise, starting with the joints most likely to let water in.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
Aftercare for building managers
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Check the asbestos register before anyone disturbs old sealant in an older building
- Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
- Add sealant to the planned maintenance inspection list
Later works are the usual way new joints get damaged. When fittings are moved or cabling added, the sealant nearby is easily disturbed and the joint gets left open. If that happens, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will price putting it right.
Occupiers often notice failing sealant before the facilities team does, and it reflects on how the building is run. Replacing it on a planned cycle keeps complaints down.
When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Facade and cladding joints
On a facade, a failed joint is often only visible close up. Photos from a closer viewpoint help us price, with colours confirmed for the product chosen.
Commercial kitchens and tea points
A smooth, continuous joint is easier to keep clean. Work is timed around the hours you give us so the kitchen isn’t out of use longer than needed.
Common questions from IV22 clients
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
On older buildings, our first request is the asbestos survey. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder, and we don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you work in IV22?
Yes. We cover IV22 and the rest of Highland. For a quote, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Can you take on work for an FM or managing agent?
Yes. We quote, schedule and report back in the way that suits your process.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
